Common Guillemot at Fair Isle

Fair Isle, that remote outpost lying midway between Orkney and Shetland, offers photographers dramatic backdrops of towering sea cliffs and rugged sandstone stacks against which the Common Guillemot can be captured in its North Sea setting. Guests joining the Atlantic Puffins of Fair Isle holiday in June have the opportunity to work these cliff faces, using the island's rugged coastal scenery to frame this species within its dramatic surroundings. The isolation of Fair Isle itself becomes part of the story, lending a sense of wild remoteness to every frame taken here.
